A new addition to today’s ‘Picture Postals’. I’ve managed to catch a glimpse of the elusive giant squid, and also a picture of the first Invertebrate Hall as it existed until c. 1927. By 1928 it had been moved into another Hall.

The first Invertebrate Hall at the Brooklyn Museum, later moved wholesale to another hall c. 1927 and opened again by 1928.

This is as Lovecraft would have known it until c. 1927. Both the Giant Octopus and Giant Squid are seen, though it’s still not a good view of the squid.
